Pedro de la Rosa: the Doyen of Test Drivers

[@chickenmerchant3719]

as a Spaniard, i never thought I'd see a properly done video about Pedro's career, love your channel, keep it up!

[@breatharian2009]

He posted the fastest lap of the race when he subbed in for Montoya in Bahrain, 2005.

[@Hayden3210]

Correct me if im wrong but i believe that lap still holds the race record to this day?

[@Idfk13yes]

@@Hayden3210 yes

[@AndresDCK]

Underrated driver absolutely Edit: can you do one of Marc Gené?

[@mjpovey8563]

Love all these videos. Well researched and well spoken. Keep up the good work dude!

Him racing, the gearbox: may I introduce myself

[@TehMehKehIen]

Lol at my fellow spaniards saying he was great. It's like they didn't pay attention to the video. All his early career is crashing, being slower than Jos and Irvine, or having the gearbox broken. He was a test driver for a reason.

[@ddrennon]

I’ve been a fan since his early days: PDLR was an underrated talent

[@gowrishankarkn1465]

Take a shot every time he loses the gearbox

[@tjitse3916]

Great to see this vid, I’ve often had a soft spot for the guy, just like some of the other ones often kept at the back by many factors (like Luca Badoer).

[@Bale4Bond]

Could you do a complete retrospective on the Arrows and Minardi teams?

[@WhenF1WasGreat]

McLaren had another top notch test driver in Olivier Panis.

[@albertorodriguezfernandez5956]

He was a fantastic driver, and he also had the extremely RARE talent of being good at politics too. He did have several stints at Mclaren and at the GPDA, and that's a case in point.

[@AngelAngel-ii1gm]

Tbh, Pedro never be a bad driver, is a really good driver and his redaction with Lobato and Coquerella in Danz are incredible.

[@TIB1245L]

He's now an ambassador for the Aston Martin team!

[@grgaming5794]

his sauber stint is full of badluck poor guy

[@mdctt9021]

PDR is a GOAT.

[@macrossMX]

Let's not forget that it was in 1997 in SuperGT (JGTC then), he and Michael Krumm, in their Castrol TOM'S Supra Mk.IV ended the reign of Nissan and brought the almighty Godzilla to its knees. Now, he is a brand ambassador for Aston Martin, with Alonso being among the drivers for their racing team. And we know Alonso famously ended the reign of the Ferrari Empire and defeated the Red Baron Michael Schumacher in 2005 and 2006. Aston's future is going to look bright with these legends representing them.

[@degateaux1191]

His case proven that he isn’t not a bad driver whatsoever but have to resort to driving compromised machinery in his career which hampered his potential dearly. He got the opportunity at McLaren and manage to defend against Micheal Schumacher like it nothing

[@takahashi314]

Driver with just gearbox failures ever

[@Torero2901]

Never heard of the word "doyen", I thought it was some Japanese gimmick, but appears to be very English. Your new channel is nice, but in the Rework of the points systems there were SO many errors in that video that you should redo the parts that went wrong. Putting more care in your content makes you grow faster, I think your content deserves that.

[@SpaceHCowboy]

31000 subs vs 47 subs Science.

[@Torero2901]

@@SpaceHCowboy huh? What does sub count have to do with this?

[@SpaceHCowboy]

@@Torero2901 Trying to tell a with a well established channel how to improve content and "grow faster".... Yet you have zero original stuff of your own and 47 subs, versus Mr Brooks well established channel, extensive catalogue of excellent material and a sub count in the tens of thousands..... And you try and offer advice??? 🤣 Quite ridiculous isn't it?? 🤦‍♂️

[@Torero2901]

@@SpaceHCowboy so the fact that I am not a KZbinr makes my founded criticism somehow wrong? You must be sad in your life, that I dared to speak up to your demigod, get a life, loser.
